I don?t know. I?d much rather see Hardy play than Lawson. Hardy has the potential to be a difference maker for this team. Not sure about Lawson.

I love that we are finally the team with the big man that can bully down low when the other team goes small.

This game has frustrated me more than most with officiating. I swear we are supposed to lose this game based on how it's being reffed.
Our team is playing hard as hell and in the game and yet, they are just taking all the momentum out of us.
Hardy is a baller and should replace THJ in the very near future. We are balling our ass off. I am happy win or lose.

I need a real coach that knows how to put players in position to be successful. PJ cannot be shooting 8 threes in a game

Dagger. THJ gives up the offensive board leads to a big dunk. Hell of a fight coming off the 2nd night of a B2B and not having your best player.

How the FUCK is SHAI able to push of on every drive?
Kidd loss this when we stopped running Gafford/Lively. WTF. Neither one of them need to be off the floor at any time.

Cute how Williams and SGA can push off on every single drive. Slightest bump goes to them as a defensive foul.

What does that have to with his poor iq?
The more minutes he gets the more terrible shots he take.
Van gundy was speaking the truth Dude needs to understand his role better. He doesn't have to just force up bad shots just create offense

... Hardy > THJ. That's the only thing I am trying to explain. Van Gundy also said THJ has been absent for months.
Hardy gives more to this team than THJ. Even if they aren't the best shots, he is attacking and trying to keep us in the game.

You have a bad habit of only coming around when the team loses to talk shit.
Hardy is constantly put in bad positions where the ability to succeed is low. Like, if he doesn't score 12 points in 4 minutes, then he'd never see the floor. So you're really only expecting one thing from him, and then say his bbiq is low. Well no shit when he isn't actually being coached to be anything else.

I?m pretty sure Kidd wanted Hardy to play aggressive especially with Luka and Green out. To me, it looks like he has so much potential, but he really needs more opportunities to play.

Hardy finished with 9 points and 5 assists on 4/10 shooting. He started off trying to do too much one on one but settled in the second half. Dribbles a tad too much for me but I?ll take him over THJ 100% of the time.

I thought Hardy?s playmaking in this game stood out relative to THJ. It felt like without Luka tonight the Mavs needed another playmaker, and I thought Hardy filled the void nicely all things considered.

I'm not a fan of either guy so honestly I wouldn't care if they both didn't get burn.
Hopefully green is OK and exum stays healthy because I much prefer those two guys to backup Luka and Kyrie as opposed to the other two chuckers constantly firing up bad shots

THJ and Maxi are borderline unplayable. Maxi offers absolutely nothing now, and whatever Kidd thinks of his defense in space is not there anymore. He?s a step behind. It doesn?t offset his non rebounding and non scoring.
Lively or Gafford at all times.
And Coaching staff has to figure out what to do with PJ.

Losing always sucks and Kidd/THJ/Maxi will doom us in the postseason, but I actually didn't hate this loss. Outrebounded them and had a chance to win it without Luka. We prob win if he plays.

I think I?m mad because Kidd overall will never win you games. He?s closing the game with Maxi when Gafford has been a monster. I?ll take Lively over Maxi too to close. And some of his lineups make zero logical sense. Hardaway and Hardy can?t be on the floor at the same time.

That's why you play him off ball when Kai or Luka sits. Not running the team while Thj is out there doing god knows what.
The problem is not Hardy, its Thj and Kidd. Hardy needs more mins, thjs mins to be exact. He plays a total of 24 mins in the last 10 games... then is expected to pop on out there and run the offense. Its exactly what i was saying the other day. He will never be ready to step in, if hes getting 24 mins in a 10 game span and 3/4 of those are garbage mins.

Even with the 200 turnovers we were in it.

Imagine the player (his rookie year) Hardy would be if he had gotten the minutes Lively got this season.
Kidd is purposely stunting his growth. It's 100% on Kidd at this point.
Just go back to January to see what kind of player Hardy is when he gets minutes. If he got 25 mpg on the regular, then he would almost certainly be a 15 ppg guard.

Question: Why was Maxi Kleber on the floor for the last 5+minutes of the game?
Answer#1: JKidd overthinks situations and concluded Maxi would suddenly catch fire and win the game with his 3pt marksmanship.
Answer #2: JKidd is incapable of thinking and pulled Maxi's name out of his "who is next up in our rotation" hat.
Answer #3: JKidd had a $5K bet on the Thunder.
Answer#4: JKidd is a dumbass

Just got a headache thinking about how many minutes Maxi will get vs Denver.
For one, no one in the league is stopping joker. So go with the center that can rebound and score, not the guy a step behind out in space.
